Selling my books to make space (for more books)
see http://www.saintthomaselson.org.uk/160/ We made £790. Less than last year, but with fewer tables, less stress and a lot more people from the Community. Plugging it intensely through local schools and the youth club paid dividends. I enjoyed it, and I think the community did as well.
We have a running joke about Tchibo, the German shop which sells, well a small selection of everything. I just have to pop in each time I am in Fareham because, well, the stock changes every week.
